What performing artist would you most want to photograph?

skifurthur · 1st of July 2007 (Sun)

And why would you pick them?

I see so much creativity in composition here that I am curious, if you got your wish, who would you most want to take pictures of and why.

Shot

Conor and Interpol i am REALLY looking forward to connor is this friday, interpol is the 20th of august. The blood brothers was one of the hardest concerts i ever shot. They move around like crazy and the pit there was tiny with appaling lighting. i had to under expose so so much just to get them still and even that diddnt work very well.

If i could shoot anyone right now, it would be fall out boy. Not because i like their music, i dont, atall. But i respect the fact that they are very good performers, very lively and 'jumpy' and im sure such hyper stage antics would make some good photos.

Im pretty jealous, I admit. Haha. THat sucks about the blood brothers. The last place here they played had a decent sized pit and good(not great) lighting. A friend of mine shot them and his results were fantastic. It made me sad.

Good luck with your other 2 shoots

Apparently. If smoking is part of yr act on stage. You are still allowed to smoke in a building.
Who thinks of these laws? haha

Slash
Frank Sinatra
Arctic Monkeys
The Who

Tom Waits.

I'd pick him because he is so creative, has a very interesting face and expressions - would be many opportunities to capture different facets of him - either as a singer or playing piano, he wears interesting clothes and the opportunity to photograph him is rare. Also his music is so damned good, covers so many styles and is interesting... and yes THAT VOICE!

Dwarfmcdougal you need to realise that Tom Waits is the man and would chew up and spit out the whole of Interpol without raising a sweat. And that's not saying anything bad about Interpol but they are lightweights when you put them up against someone of Tom Waits stature.

Mine is a toss up between him, Bleeding Through, and the Blood Brothers.

Conor just becase I love his music, Bleeding Through and the Blood Brothers for the same reason but their live shows are much much more dynamic and wild
